StudyPug Topic

CC.HSA.CED.A.1

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.

CC.HSA.CED.A.2

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

CC.HSA.CED.A.3

Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.

CC.HSA.CED.A.4

Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations.

CC.HSA.REI.A.1

Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

CC.HSA.REI.B.3

Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.

CC.HSA.REI.C.5

Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

CC.HSA.REI.C.6

Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.

CC.HSA.REI.D.10

Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

CC.HSA.REI.D.11

Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

CC.HSA.REI.D.12

Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.

CC.HSA.SSE.A.1

Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

CC.HSA.SSE.B.3

Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

CC.HSA.APR.A.1

Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

CC.HSA.APR.B.3

Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.

CC.HSN.RN.A.1

Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents.

CC.HSF.IF.A.1

Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

CC.HSF.IF.A.2

Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

CC.HSF.IF.B.5

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.

CC.HSF.IF.B.6

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.

CC.HSF.IF.C.9

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).

CC.HSF.BF.A.2

Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.

CC.HSF.BF.B.3

Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology.

CC.HSF.LE.A.1

Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.

CC.HSF.LE.A.2

Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

CC.HSF.LE.A.3

Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.

CC.HSA.REI.C.7

Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically.

CC.HSS.ID.A.1

Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).

CC.HSS.ID.A.2

Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.

CC.HSS.ID.A.3

Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

CC.HSS.ID.B.6

Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.

CC.HSS.ID.C.7

Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.

Georgia High School Algebra: What Students Learn

Georgia Algebra follows the Georgia Standards of Excellence and covers the core skills students need to succeed in high school math and beyond. From writing equations in one variable to analyzing scatter plots, every topic builds toward a strong foundation in mathematical reasoning.

Equations and Inequalities

Students learn to create and solve linear equations, quadratic equations, and inequalities in one and two variables. They also explore systems of equations, solving them both graphically and algebraically. Key skills include rearranging formulas, justifying solution steps, and interpreting solutions in real-world contexts.

  • Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable
  • Create equations from linear, quadratic, rational, and exponential functions
  • Solve systems of two equations using substitution, elimination, and graphs
  • Graph solution sets of linear inequalities as half-planes

Expressions and Polynomials

Students interpret and rewrite algebraic expressions, work with polynomial operations, and apply properties of rational exponents. They learn to factor polynomials and use zeros to sketch graphs.

  • Add, subtract, and multiply polynomials
  • Rewrite expressions using structure and equivalent forms
  • Convert between radical notation and rational exponents
  • Identify zeros of polynomials using factorization

Functions

A major focus of Georgia Algebra is developing a deep understanding of functions. Students use function notation, interpret graphs and tables, and compare linear with exponential models. They also explore transformations and sequences.

  • Understand domain, range, and function notation
  • Interpret key features of graphs: intercepts, intervals, and rates of change
  • Write arithmetic and geometric sequences recursively and explicitly
  • Identify transformations: f(x) + k, k·f(x), f(x + k), and f(kx)

Linear and Exponential Models

Students distinguish between linear and exponential growth, construct models from data or descriptions, and interpret parameters in context. They also observe how exponential functions eventually outpace polynomial growth.

Statistics and Data Analysis

Algebra includes an introduction to data analysis. Students represent data using dot plots, histograms, and box plots. They compare distributions using center and spread, and analyze scatter plots with linear models.

  • Calculate and interpret mean, median, IQR, and standard deviation
  • Interpret slope and intercept of a linear model in context
  • Compute and interpret correlation coefficients using technology
  • Distinguish between correlation and causation
